Not much time is left as IPL 2025 is set to start from March 22, and once again, we can expect many impressive and thrilling matches where each team will look to put their best work forward. Some teams underwent a major squad overhaul, and on paper, they appear strong, but it will be interesting to see how they perform when they step onto the field.
Everything is all set; however, the news circulating is that a few players may miss the start of IPL 2025, possibly due to injury recovery or other reasons. Take a look at the names who may miss the start of the 18th season of IPL.
Mitchell Marsh
Starting with the Australian T20I captain, who will play for LSG this time, there are chances that he may miss IPL 2025 due to a back problem. Not to forget, Marsh was also ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to this issue, and there are chances that we may not see him in the first few matches of the IPL. But it is also true that eyes will be on him when he steps onto the field.
Mayank Yadav
No confirmation has been provided yet regarding Marsh’s availability, but for one more LSG star bowler, Mayank Yadav, it seems he will miss the start of IPL 2025, specifically the first few matches. According to many reports, there are chances that this steady pacer, who made his name in the last IPL with his impressive pace and by troubling many superstar batters, will miss the tournament’s initial matches as he is currently recovering from a lumbar stress injury. For LSG, this is an extremely concerning time, as two important players may miss the tournament’s start.
Jasprit Bumrah
Possibly the biggest name among all, or rather the biggest, there are chances that India’s legendary fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah may miss the start of the tournament due to his lower back injury recovery. Although confirmation is still awaited, reports are already circulating that he will be out of action for the first two weeks of IPL 2025.
